I'm 56, Live in NYC, and Wear These 7 Dress Outfits All the Time

We recently tapped 56-year-old New Yorker Elaine Davis for her advice on the easy and sleek items she added into her arsenal to upgrade her on-the-go wardrobe. And while age clearly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, we were curious about her expert style guidance as an over-50-year-old, in particular, given her years of sartorial experience. Well, after recently catching up again with the mastermind behind @squarepearls, she revealed that one of her key wardrobe staples just so happens to be the midi dress.

Here’s what she said: “I absolutely adore midi dresses. They’re a great length when you don’t want a maxi, but you do want a tad bit more length than what a just-below-the-knee dress offers. Midis can be flared, straight, tiered—you name it. They’re just so versatile.” So with that said, we thought there could be interest in the specific midi-dress outfits Davis swears by to look chic for her life in NYC.

With all that in mind, keep scrolling for seven stylish midi-dress looks, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.

"Wearing a fun floral midi, paired with a cute pair of sneakers is absolutely one of my favorite looks to wear year-round." — Davis
"Who doesn’t love a belted A-line dress styled with chic accessories for a classic daytime look?" — Davis
"Whether it’s a socially distanced summer brunch meetup or a casual meeting, I always feel ready in a midi that’s fun and professional." — Davis
"When I want that chic town-and-country look, I’ll wear a tiered midi along with a pair of statement trainers and one of my go-to totes." — Davis
"My go-to date-night outfit is always a black dress and a pair of heels. You just can’t go wrong with this combo." — Davis
"Off-the-shoulder smocked midi dresses and chunky sandals are a total vibe that I’m currently obsessed with right now." — Davis
"I love pairing a dreamy bubble-hem midi dress with a heel for a look that’s fit for a queen." — Davis

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
